What JF Bastok buys in La Hulpe
Silver cutlery, full or incomplete canteens, hollowware (dishes, trays, candlesticks, chocolate pots…), silver jewellery and display pieces, of every standard, from plated to solid.
What determines the value
Silverware is first bought at the day’s rate, by weight and fineness. Antique silver then earns an extra valuation according to country, silversmith, period and quality of work: the hallmarks make it all identifiable.
